Is meat healthy?

Is meat healthy?

The meat itself is not the problem. In many cases it is the way the animal is fed. It is the meat products that reach the consumer that are unhealthy.

Why are there so many metabolic disorders? Why do previously unknown diseases develop? Why does the animal’s immune system fail and why do previously harmless, opportunistic pathogens (living with the animal) become pathogenic (harmful)?

Several veterinarians and their colleagues dissected thousands of animals with health problems and examined animals that were slaughtered “healthy”. In each case, the condition of the internal organs was examined.

Health problems in farm animals

They all found that an inflamed intestinal tract with huge intestinal lymph nodes, abnormal blood circulation, a heart with hypertrophy, an acutely inflamed liver and polycystic kidneys were clearly related to the composition of the diet and the quality of the raw materials.

Significant mortality was observed from year to year, but also within one year and when fed with fungal toxin-free diets.

It was later discovered that broiler chickens, laying hens, ducks, geese and turkeys also suffer from the same basic problems as pigs. The diseases in humans are due to poor feed quality.

A leading figure in the livestock industry recently said that he believes we are only a few decades away from the point where healthy meat will become a luxury good if we do not stop producing to minimise costs and maximise profits.

Sick farm animals – poor meat quality – sick consumers

This section lists diseases that affect both pigs and humans, but they cannot be considered the same. Although the underlying cause is similar, they have either emerged in the last two decades or their extent is only now being recognised.

The latter is a mitochondrial disease that affects children and the elderly and is becoming an increasingly significant problem. Although the underlying cause is similar, they have either emerged in the last two decades or their extent is only now being recognised.

• PMWS (Postweaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome) and
  Circovirus wasting in pigs – human T-cell leukaemia and PFTS (Porcine periweaning failure to thrive syndrome) growth failure syndrome in humans.
• Various health issues
  in pigs and humans, including Clostridium difficile, microbiome problems, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth
  syndrome (SIBO), Crohn’s disease, haemorrhagic bowel syndrome (HBS), polycystic kidneys and
  ovaries, and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
• In mammals, lysine- arginine antagonism impairs the development of blood vessels and blood flow to the placenta, similar to angiogenesis and vasodilatation problems during egg incubation.
• Heart hypertrophy, which is a result of lifelong high blood pressure, affects every third pig’s heart.

Growing pigs suffer from osteoporosis, despite precise feeding that optimises the intake of vitamin D3, calcium and phosphorus.

Additionally, 6-7% of pigs experience a prolapsed rectum, which is similar to internal haemorrhoids in humans.

The development of haemorrhoids

In the USA, the prevalence of rectal problems is over 14%. The prevalence of rectal problems in animals increases by 6-7 times when the feed contains a high proportion of lysine amino acid.

This is due to the high lysine content in the feed.
Additionally, the feed’s effect of cadaverine can cause acute liver inflammation.
The hepatic portal vein (vena portae) can narrow, impeding blood flow. The narrowing of the portal circulation results in high blood pressure.
The blood seeks a bypass route to the heart through the lower part of the rectal venous outflow, where the portal vein (Vena portae) connects with the inferior vena cava (Vena cava inferior). Venous dilatation (haemorrhoids) can easily occur due to the increased venous pressure caused by disturbed portal vein circulation (liver cirrhosis).

Precision nutrition for multinational interests is detrimental to human health. To safeguard ourselves, our families, and future generations, we must stop compromising our health.

Our diet has a significant impact on our health, just like the farm animals we consume. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid meat from factory farming and instead, take advantage of the benefits of fulvic acid.
